Nikon Coolpix AW120 Reviews

Virtues

  • Awesome fotik! Some advantages.

disadvantages

  • Focusing speed, rate of fire and sensitivity could be higher, but if your hands are crooked then no super-optics will help :)

Comment
He took with him to Egypt. On land, I fotkal on Canon 6D, but in the sea, of course, Nikon AW120. The results of underwater photography can be viewed on my page on the network http://vk.com/subzero1977 (album Egyptian korilla and fish) For 11 days of intensive swimming (at least 2 hours each day) never failed and nothing leaked ... I didn’t dive into the depths - all that was fotkal - from the surface with a mask and snorkel. One time when I went to wash it under the shower, he fell down from the height of my height (182 cm) to the concrete ... I thought it was all pipets. But it was not there - he was not even scratched. So I confirm anti-shock!
The only thing I would like for the functional is a high rate of fire and sensitivity - often there was not enough lighting to get a normal photo.

P.S. They wrote here that someone was rattling something ... nothing rattles me even after a fall, complete silence if I shake. We had to check with the purchase - most likely bought a marriage. As for the strap that comes in the kit - also complete nonsense that it cannot be used underwater - I used it only :) and it is in the Red Sea which is very salty and eats everything well - the strap remains as new.
In the comments of previous speakers there is clearly some kind of special anti-advertising product ...It would be better to take a picture, and then write something ...
See my pictures and decide for yourself - buy not buy :)

Virtues

  • Perfectly takes photos and videos,

disadvantages

  • Something dangles inside (does not affect the performance), the battery quickly sits down. I would like a lower price tag (I took it for 11,990)

Comment
I am the owner of this device for 3 weeks! They took it especially for holidays in Egypt! I justified all my hopes for all 100! I plunged about 10 meters, I could stand it, although I was afraid to lower it into the water, but then I got used to it! The quality is excellent, what is on land that pleases A large number of effects that can be applied when photographing! At first I wanted to purchase the previous model, but at the last moment I decided this one, and did not regret it! All sorts of features useful!

Virtues

  • Dust-proof protected, shock-proof, holds the battery well (and this despite the fact that WiFi is always on and GPS is enough for 2 days, with regular views of the footage). Don't forget to overclock the battery !!!

disadvantages

  • Long focusing (only because of this and 4 points, everything else is nonsense), there is no hand strap, there is no docking station for the battery, when assigning a location to the pictures, I wrote everything in English and everything corresponded to the location (bay, hotels, etc. ), after transferring images to smart devices --- half in Arabic, half in English, part in Russian, and absolutely no longer correct data (I don’t understand this !!!) But for me this is not critical. Too carefully it is necessary to treat the observance of the rules of use in water, and especially in salt water.

Comment
Fotik bought specials. for Egypt. The market did not want to give out an underwater camera at all, after a long search, the choice fell on Panasonic, Kenon and Nikon (there is also the Sony TX-30, I saw it live, like a toy compared to Nikon, and the same price.) I stopped at Nikon, most likely from -for the fact that there is a Nikon DSLR that never let down. And he was not mistaken, and this one also did not disappoint. After studying the instructions --- immediately put it in the bath, so that if-what time to change before the holidays, all the rules. I used the Auto-amateur mode, in which the camera itself determined everything, including immersions in water. Hand strap ordered in China, which also keeps the camera afloat, very handy thing (soft and wide-150rub.)
In general, the device was satisfied.

Virtues

  • Excellent pocket device for everyday wear (and when too lazy to haul a backpack with a DSLR and lenses). Lightweight, compact, the lens or about anything inside is not vobёsh (he and so inside: mine). Photos and videos higher than expected from the soap dish.

disadvantages

  • Sometimes it gives an error (frequent flashing of the charging LED) when connected via USB. However, for the first (1.0) firmware version, these are childhood diseases. There were no other questions in two weeks.

Comment
The guys, what dangles inside the switched off device - elements of the lens stabilizer. Do not get carried away - damage the suspension.

Virtues

  • Normal for compact quality of photos, security, wi-fi, gps & glonass, world map, compass, altimeter. Easy, intuitive operation

disadvantages

  • Through wi-fi you can not directly throw photos into the network. They can only be downloaded from the device. Few manual settings. Eats battery, if everything is turned on

Comment
In fact, a good soap dish for traveling.
1) Removes acceptable
2) Hard to kill
3) Contact with phone / tablet
4) Photo / video specifically nailed to a point on the map
5) Will help to get to the people if lost :-)

Virtues

  • IMPORTANT: while not tested for resistance to water and shock!
  •  
  • - Photos are doing great. With a STRONG increase, this is noticeable ... how to say it ... pastel a la Impressionists)) Apparently, the manufacturer did this so that fans of the increase would not notice the digital distortion along the contours of the objects. Therefore, the digital haze that is often present in the digital images of low-cost cameras is smoothed here. But this is with a strong increase.So you need siiyilno search.
  • Here is an example of what I photographed (and I processed one with the cat, forgive me, dear audience) - http://yadi.sk/d/Ki93peQESJ3r7
  •  
  • - video shoots perfectly. I can’t give a lot of examples - everything is too personal. But the quality is impressive. The stabilizer helps smooth shooting even with already digital zoom. If you want to shoot high-quality video and photos and have it all in one device - that's it! Here is the video that I shot ATTENTION! NOT in HD (otherwise it is reproduced on my old computer of 2006, with terrible braking). But for a guideline, I think, then the reviews laid out on this bezrybe quite roll.
  •  
  • - My wife was impressed with the option, as she called - for the terrible. I translate: the camera has a built-in photo processing. Those. if a sensitive young lady with bad skin is photographed (perhaps even minor defects in the form of pimples), then the device itself has the option of Glossy Retouching, which smooths the skin. Those. Photoshop knowledge is no longer needed here - 2 clicks and everything is in order. About red-eye removal (if you have not used the mode of suppressing them) can also be fixed on the camera itself without resorting to software delights.
  •  
  • - The option Intelligent Portrait allows you to just hold the camera in your hands and she takes pictures herself at the moments when (as she decides) the pictures will be successful. Usually this is when a person smiles (or makes a face))).
  •  
  • - turning on the camera - INSTANTLY. Press the power button - you can immediately take a picture! Those. You can catch a UFO or a falling meteorite!

disadvantages

  • So far, I repeat, I have not tried drowning a cell in the sea, beer, tea, or a bath.
  • 1. Some concern is caused by the sound from inside the case: when twitching to and fro, one hears that there is something to be pampered about. Checked - this is not a battery - it stably stands. Those. something swinging inside can be and makes that sound. But maybe it should be (I will be grateful for the comment on this comment)
  • 2. When shooting a video, the sound of the zoom is very clearly heard (if you use it at the time of shooting). It is somewhat intrigued - really could not provide some kind of noise protection. But considering that I will not do the Oscar filming, in principle it’s not so important
  • 3. I thought for a long time ... I could not find it ... well, maybe I expected the mixture of a safe with a camera in my hands to feel, but in reality the face of the unit is too plastic. How this should withstand a fall from 2 meters - I can not imagine. But I have not tried to drop it yet and will try to take care of the device.

Comment
Well, basically - I love it!
Because The device is supposed to be for tourist attacks, I hope the claimed neprokoshka and neubivashka will work.

The quality of the pictures is excellent. Of course, if you compare it with shooting in studios or SLRs with a lens cost of $ 2000, then of course it's just a box with radio parts.

For normal and even demanding people, this is a great camera!
See the photos I posted and draw conclusions - http://yadi.sk/d/Ki93peQESJ3r7
